This article is for someone who somehow despite all its hype missed the sequel to the biggest movie of all time in theatres – Avatar: The Way of Water. The film is the biggest blockbuster of this decade despite the long 13 years gap between the original and the sequel. Made on a production budget of $460 million, the film grossed $2.32 billion worldwide. Actually the film’s total budget is around $1 billion but keeping in mind the total revenue generated by the film it still generated a profit of $500 million. Speaking of the total revenue, the physical media copies of the film will also account into the total revenue generated by the sequel. However, until now the House of Mouse has not released the 4K and Blu-Ray copies of the sequel but that changes today.
Avatar: The Way of the Water- 4K and Blu-ray Copies To Release In June!
After ruling the theatres, James Cameron’s Avatar: The Way of Water is now available to stream on premium video-on-demand services (VOD). However, there is no mention about the physical media release or Disney+’s release. At least, nothing has been made public. The film was released in theatres almost six months back, an update has to be given to us but Cameron and Disney have remained tight lipped. Well, if we don’t get an official update then we can always get some below the table, unofficial information.
According to a new listing from Canadian distributor DealsAreUs, The Way of Water will be released on 4K UHD and Blu-Ray formats on Tuesday, 20th June. The original Avatar released after 125 days of its theatrical release. If the sequel would’ve followed the original’s footsteps then it would’ve hit shelves on 20th April 2023. It has to be noted this is still a rumor and the sequel doesn’t have an official physical media release date and neither a streaming release date.
Obviously, Disney won’t remove the film from theatres until it completely stops performing or they start incurring losses. At the same time, selling it on digital mediums grants them extra profit but if they release it on Disney Plus, all that will stop. As you may know films usually hit streaming when they lose their theatrical and disc/digital sale potential. So it is expected that for Avatar 2 this will be the case till the end of June 2023. Therefore, the Disney Plus streaming release date for Avatar: The Way of Water is expected to be in the first week of July 2023.
Avatar: The Way of Water will soon start streaming on Disney+.
